New Kid on the block with several questions

A neuromuscular neurologist treats neuropathy. They also do the testing. A general doctor does not do the testing they don’t have the machines. Biopsies for small fiber neuropathy and emg/nerve conduction testing. I have had it since2002 mine is autoimmune. Also my neuropathy has caused my seizures the neurologist linked it to my brain. I see a neuromuscular neurologist and a research neurologist out of Boston.

I see a neurologist in Boston too, who do you see? My neuropathy is caused by my autoimmune issue as well, except mine is in my face. I do have seizures just numbness on my the right side. They do not see this often, so I am basically on trial with everything they do and nothing has made it better and they don’t think anything will, so here I am.

Great information. What do you mean when you say autoimmune? Does that mean you have RA? Should anyone who has neuropathy see these specialists?
Thanks for the direction
